HYBRID
MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2023
This workshop is designed to foster mentorship, education, and collaboration among students who have an interest in becoming AR/VR (or XR) faculty someday. Thus, we are seeking faculty who are willing and eager to impart their knowledge to the next prospective generation of professors. We are also seeking some professors with industry experience to provide comparisons between industry and academia. The workshop will feature panels of current professors discussing various aspects of professorship, including (among other topics) tenure, creating and organizing a research program, teaching, and professional service, and more generally what aspects of their profession they really like and dislike, and why. Additionally, the workshop will include “speed advising” sessions in which students will be able to have 1-on-1 short advising sessions with current faculty. The panels and speed advising sessions will feature diverse faculty to provide students with various perspectives on the meaning of, success within, and preparation for professorship. Throughout the workshop, there will be an emphasis on creating and sustaining an academic environment that is diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible.
You can sign up for as much or as little as you want!
